INTRODUCTION TO
ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS (RCA) MASTERCLASS
16 - 17 December, 2019 | Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
Expert Trainer Profile

BILL KEETER - CMRP, CRL & CRE, Renowned expert on Maintenance & Reliability Engineering
Bill has been providing consulting and training for reliability improvement efforts in a wide variety of industries since 2001. During that time, he has used analytical methods such as Reliability-Centered Maintenance (RCM), Root Cause Analysis (RCA), Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, and Safety Modeling (RAMS), and Life-Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) to analyze failures, develop equipment maintenance plans, and improve system performance. Bill became interested in RCM when he found that most companies he worked with did not have the detailed data they needed to make the analyses as accurate as they could be.
Bill has also Co-Authored: FRACAS –An Easy-to-Use System to Improve Maintenance Reliability
OVERVIEW
TOPICS COVERED
This 2 days course is designed to give attendees the skills and tools they need to implement and improve RCA programs. Its focus is not on an individual methodology, but rather on understanding the core elements of RCA that should be applied regardless of the chosen method.
THIS COURSE IS DESIGNED FOR:
Maintenance, Engineering, and Operations personnel who will be involved in the implementation of a Root Cause Analysis Program
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
-
The basic steps of creating an RCA program
-
The importance of “triggers” in managing RCA
-
The reasons RCA programs fail
-
The DMIOM model for causes
-
The six links of the cause chain and their markers
-
The most important first step in any RCA
-
How to analyze solutions to ensure they meet organizational goals
-
The two types of problems, and which ones cause the greatest production losses
WHAT YOU WILL DO
-
Build a RACI matrix for assigning program responsibilities
-
Build a timeline for a problem
-
Perform difference analysis on a problem
-
Create cause statements
-
Create solution statements
-
Create solution criteria
-
Analyze solutions to determine the best one
-
Perform a 5-Why analysis on a problem
-
Perform a Fault Tree Analysis on a problem
Why you should attend this course:
You will come away from this course with a fundamental understanding of how RCA works, where to apply it, and how to better manage implementing corrective actions that have been recommended. You will know how to separate opinions from causes, and how to set criteria for solutions to ensure the best ones are implemented.
